Early Thursday afternoon, Chattanooga Police announced via Twitter that "the active shooter situation is over."

News just updated with information now that four Marines died in the gunfire. It's now being characterized as an act of domestic terrorism.

Damn, if they had been armed they might have been able to reduce the number of casualties. This crap needs to stop!

It's time to arm everyone in uniform, at least the combat arms folks.

Since 9/11 I've been saying arm everyone in uniform. We're one of the only countries that doesn't arm our guys at home, and it f**king costing us!

Top,

I'm in complete agreement, but it can't be just the combat arms folks ... these cowards will always go after the weakest link. If they've completed basic/AIT/OSUT for whatever MOS, they need to be armed.

Let's see this is America where we will criminalize and punish those Christian bakers for following their beliefs and awarding the gender confused their business.


America the same country that will happily sell any weapon to a muslim to go and kill other Americans.


When do we vote the muslims off the island?

I'll never understand the Commander's intent when the current threat level is "HIGH" for individual attacks against military and law enforcement personnel and no one in charge states the obvious.

It's like pulling guard duty over hundreds or thousands of lives with an empty rifle in your hands - what's the point?

Arm them now! It's already too late for those lost. RIP Marines your country's leaders failed you.

Now now, let's not all get in a tizzy just because he has a funny name and it starts with Muhammad. The FBI has already branded it "domestic terrorism", not "islamic terrorism".


My condolences to the fallen.

I saw this on an elevator on Ft Bragg... I think it sums up our ludicrous state of affairs (concerning gun free zones on military installations). It is insane that we cannot be armed while on post, or on duty at a recruitment office.

Step 1, RUN
Step 2, HIDE
Step 3, If you MUST, then FIGHT
